Abstract

The system has a projector (11) at front of a motor vehicle (10) for emitting an infrared light towards a course of a road. A color sensor (12) captures a color image of the course of the road, and a monochromic sensor (13) captures a monochromic image of the course of the road. An image processing unit connected to the sensors combines the color image with the monochromic image. An independent claim is also included for a night vision procedure for a course of a road.
